It's good to see celebrities come forward and tell people about the
goodness of the Gurukul way of education. It helps spread the awareness
about those roots which should be restored in our social lives, in all
their glory.

Actress Sonali Bendre says imparting education and
values is not only the duty of schools as parents should also try and
inculcate them through vedic teachings.

"We cannot put all the onus onto schools. What are the parents doing? There has to be some responsibilities
that parents have to take. It is not that you send your children to the
factory (school) and the final product comes out - that's not going to
happen," Sonali said.

She
believes with the culture of nuclear families coming in, children are
losing the connect with the culture which sustained in joint families.

"In Gurukul system there was a holistic approach to impart education.
The holistic way of upbringing was not just to impart education but also
the concept of Dharma as enunciated in Vedic literature. In our joint
family system that space was filled by grandparents, but we are now
moving more and more to nuclear family. So it is something that the
parents have to take on the responsibility of imparting Vedic teachings
at house."

Thank you Sonali for coming forward in support of real indian educational system~
